BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 When we were there for the 24 hour event, we talked to a family that went to the "Unleash the Villians" event last year. They said it was very cool, but the crowds were INSANE. Presumably now that it's a hard ticketed event the crowds will be a bit less. If nothing else the price tag may keep some people away.

AuburnJen 777 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I went to the hard ticketed Happy Haunts events back when they had them, yeah, they were a lot of money for a special event but because we are such fans, we shelled out the moolah. I guess it just boils down to what do you want to spend your money on. The events do run better if they are hard ticketed because there is always a people limit.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 If demand is that high, doesn't it make economic sense to supply more? The previous "Limited Time Magic" event was open to everyone in the park. Hard ticket events are generally advertised as having a "limited" number of tickets sold. Then again, people that have attended MNSSHP or MVMCP in recent years have reported that the crowds seem a lot higher than in the past so, I guess "limited" is open to interpretation.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Why wouldn't Disney do more of these types of events? They basically can sell tickets to the same park twice in one day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Why wouldn't Disney do more of these types of events? They basically can sell tickets to the same park twice in one day. Just wait. It's coming. This summer, we have the Harambe Nights event at Animal Kingdom, and the after hours thing they are selling at Epcot. There are more Halloween and Christmas parties than ever on the schedule for the end of the year. If this new Villains thing sells well, and I think it will, they will milk this cow for all it's worth. It's the Disney way. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 From the Disney Parks Blog... Preview of Merchandise and Food & Beverage Coming to Villains Unleashed Event at Disney’s Hollywood Studiosposted on August 14th, 2014 by Steven Miller, Merchandise Communications Manager A record number of Disney villains will be unleashed during a special event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on August 23. This separately ticketed event will include some awesome entertainment and opportunities for up close encounters with some of the most popular Disney villains. Guests attending the event will also find event merchandise and a variety of food & beverage offerings. Here is a sneak preview at what you can expect. We’ve developed a small assortment of event logo merchandise that includes my all-time favorite villain, Hades (he rules!). Guests should look for both women’s and men’s T-shirts, a limited-release pin and a water bottle. These items will be sold in the Studio Prop Shop located near the Studio Backlot Tour at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.I also learned that the Villainy in the Skies Fireworks Spectacular that night will have some Glow with the Show elements so don’t forget your ear hat. The food & beverage team has also created some incredibly delicious offerings for the party. I love the Disney villain-themed hot dogs, and the Maleficent cupcake sounds amazing – dark chocolate cake filled with a decadent blackberry filling topped with smooth blackberry buttercream (well, well!). At Club Evil in The Hollywood Brown Derby, the Disney chefs will offer an assortment of small plate menu items. These “Villanishious” items include things like “Cruellas Devious Eyes” – fresh mozzarella with ugly ripe tomato spheres, balsamic gelée and basil oil powder – or “The Queen of Hearts famous ‘Off with their heads’”!, which is deviled eggs, pig crackling and a garlic chili gelée and lobster custard with Tobiko caviar and citrus oil. Guest should also look for specialty cocktails at Club Evil and at select bar locations throughout the party. There will also be non-alcoholic option called “Pain and Panic Punch,” which is apple juice, Monin pomegranate, Monin vanilla topped with soda water. After reading the entire menu, I’m ready to party right now! If you are going, I invite you to join the conversation online with the hashtag #VillainsUnleashed. I can’t wait to see photos of the more than 50 Disney villains that night! http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2014/08/preview-of-merchandise-and-food-beverage-coming-to-villains-unleashed-event-at-disneys-hollywood-studios/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
